2-Hydroxyethylammonium Salts of Organylsulphanyl(sylphonyl)acetic Acids as Novel Pharmacologically Active Compounds

Preparative methods of the synthesis of organylsulphanyl(sulphonyl)acetic acids and their 2hydroxyethylammonium salts developed by the authors are presented in this review. The latter salts represent a new class of pharmacologically active substances possessing antiaggregant, membrane-stabilizing, antioxidant, cytostatic, cardiotropic and hypocholesterolemic activity. Compounds with combined immunotropic and antitumour activity promising for the development of up-to-date remedies for treating immunodeficient, autoimmune, oncological and other diseases were found.
